My partner has his children 7 & 9. 5 days one week and two days the following week. His ex is very controlling and manipulative.
Through advice from here, we have a phone specifically for her. We ignore the majority of her calls and texts when the children are with us as it is just abuse on what is happening at our house in my partners time with the children.
She has been contacting the eldest one through chat on a game app and questioning everything that goes on whilst the kids are with us. The messages start from 6.30am and continue all day till 8 pm at night. She tells her daughter to call her so she then comes out and asks if she can call her mother. Her mother tells her to demand that we let her call. We have and never would stop the children from ringing their mother it's just they never ask to as they are happy being here.
The 9-year-old is being secretive about it all and is even lying to us about it. We have seen the messages and have copies as we have court on 21st May.
We confronted the ex about it in a civilised way and asked her to let him enjoy their time together and she as usual just abused us and said it was her daughter's idea.
She has now gone out and bought her a phone so as to be able to contact her daughter whenever she likes. The phone her daughter was using was given to her from us for games only.
Is this constant need to have 24/7 communication with her children whilst with their father just interrogating them right? How will this look in family court?
We just want peace and enjoy the time we have with the kids without her interference. We call the kids once in the 5 days that they are with her as it is their time with their mother. Also the majority of the time she won't answer the phone.
Any help on how to handle the situation would be great.
